Description

Ideally situated in a popular and convenient location, just a short walk from both the beach and the town centre, an early viewing is highly recommended.

Occupying a desirable elevated position, this semi-detached home is generously proportioned and well-presented throughout. The ground floor briefly comprises an open plan kitchen/dining room, living room and utility room. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms (including a master with an ensuite shower room) and a modern family bathroom. The front and rear gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped for low-maintenance living, creating inviting outdoor spaces to enjoy year-round.
